Wiseman will discuss the pitfalls of
the creative life and the necessary attributes of someone who aspires to that
path. The discussion will include personal anecdotes, philosophy of creativity
and concrete steps a person can take along the creative journey.

His graphic novel Samurai's Blood (Image Comics) is set in feudal Japan, a time when one was defined by
their lineage. The book follows three teenagers who
must make their way through the world hiding their identities in order to find
their destinies.

Wiseman has written more than a dozen
screenplays, most recently The Fires of
Avalon, which is in development at Benaroya Pictures (a film finance and
production company founded by Michael Benaroya ’03, with Clay Young ’03 as a business
developer and Jeff Cahn ’06 as a screenwriter).

Wiseman has also written literary
memoir for Slake Magazine.

While at Pomona, Wiseman studied
philosophy, writing and Japanese and completed his first novel, Seeds, a science-fiction work that
explores definitions of humanity and consciousness.
